AMEX SCREW YOUR ONE TIME FEE

Anonymous — Sat, 03 May 2008 17:00:34 -0700

Take this then ...

Upgrade an AMEX from GOLDEN to PLATINUM, the software will automatically cancel the Golden one if you have no debts and that's all. They didn't re-compensate back the money you already paid at the beginning of the year. In my case I paid in July 2007 130 for Golden Amex ( one year fee), in Jan 2008 I applied for Platinum based on the forms they send me , I never used Golden but only today May 3-rd 2008 and to discover that the payment was refused , I payed by debit card and when I get back home I called them and find out what is wrong with the card. I ask them WHEN and WHO canceled the card .. THEY DID , WHEN they canceled ? .. IN JANUARY, it means that I paid 130 for a year they own back me the amount between Jan and Jul ( around 65$ half of the year). In the phone conversation I get the money with no resistance from AMEX which proves that they recognize their mistake, but my next question was why your software didn't do that automatically ... Hm it is easy because foolish my loss and them win free money. .... ok but how much per year , If a million switch a year they win in average 65 millions, ( I consider that some might do that at the begging of the period some at the end so it is and average).

I do not think this is fair either. .... and the authorities should force them to refund the money back.

Well, why not, I put it on a shirt, see the flash ad above.

I'd love it if you would go

I'd love it if you would go to cafepress.com or someplace like it and make a bumper sticker (etc.) that said "Science works whether you believe in it or not". I'd buy a whole bunch of them, since I live in Kansas...

Oops, never mind

Should've read a few posts back.

Parody?

Is this just silly, or is there a point you're making?

I have to admit I'm not too familiar with the TV writers' situation.

Have TV sitcoms gotten as predictable as porn, is that it?

You forgot:

* The iPhone's slick, non-tactile surface ensures that dorky and definitely uncool blind persons will never be seen with one. Your ubercool image is safe!
* The built-in, non-optional iPhone camera says that you're a free spirit. It ensures you'll never be mistaken for a nerdy government official, oil executive, or employee of any company with secrets to keep.

Thank you. Apple fanatics

Thank you. Apple fanatics have cost Apple more sales than Microsoft. Many people would rather be garroted than agree with proselytizers. And proselytizers never have a sense of humour.

Nah

Lots of phones let you take any music file you can download to the phone and use it as a ringtone. Of course they only use the first part. For those that know how, they can call up an audio editor to make a version of the right length and download that.

How does one do this? That would be way cool!

music ring tones are harder than they seem, will come

Glen Raphael — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 12:55:09 -0700

You might *think* you want to just use the music in your library as a ringtone, but you are wrong. If you have a favorite song, what you really want the phone to ring with is the hook or the chorus of that song, not the whole song played from the beginning. You want the most recognizable 10-second snippet. And you'd never want this ringtone snippet to play in "shuffle" mode along with your other songs, so we can't just mix ringtones in with the other music.

Thus, Apple needs to provide an interface in iTunes and on the phone to let you manage "ringtones" as a separate information category. My guess is that the software for handling this isn't yet elegant enough to pass muster, but we'll see this feature show up as a software update before Christmas. Ideally there'd be an interface to let you pick any song in your library and identify the start and end point for playing it as a ringtone.

Quoted in apparent seriousness

Your fine satire appears to be an unreferenced source for a quote attributed to the actual Steve Jobs in this article.

I think people complained

I think people complained about the high PS/3 prices because it's a game console. You use it to play video games. And that's not worth more than a couple hundred dollars to most families when they can buy an X-box or Wii for a fraction of the cost. Heck, they can even buy a PS/2 and play 99% of what you can play on the PS/3. The people that bought a PS/3 are people that convinced themselves that the fancy DVD player would be worth the investment.

Now if you'll excuse me, I just finished downloading Tekken 5 from the PlayStation Network and I have a date with Jinpachi Mishima.
